Tonight's devotion begins with the song, "The Hurt & the Healer," by MercyMe.
"Here I am, what's left of me, where glory meets my suffering. I'm alive, even though a part of me has died. You take my heart and breathe it back to life. I fall into Your arms open wide, when the hurt and the healer collide." God is there when you need Him, in good times and bad. Look to Him and run to Him!
Scripture for tonight comes from Isaiah 6:8: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" (NIV) We must be available for God to use us!
Maxwell notes that, "Everything rises and falls on leadership. If a team has great leadership, then it can gain everything else it needs to go to the highest level." Leadership is central to a team's success.
Sometimes it is necessary to focus on a central, root issue or cause, and let everything else fall into place. This concept can be found in what Maxwell mentions about leadership. As a leader, you should develop your gift and strive to make progress. You need to develop what God has given you so that you are ready when He calls you to certain situations.
Throughout the process, you will likely have problems that may lead to setbacks. Take those hurt and broken pieces to God for healing. Trust in Him and follow His guidance!
Reflect on this question: "Have you ever been part of a team with poor leadership? Strong leadership?" Think about the characteristics that surrounded those situations. Learn lessons from each. From the first, what not to do, and from the latter, what to do. Through everything, look to God for guidance. If things are going well, praise Him. If they are not, don't complain, but look to Him for direction and guidance.
God bless you!
